Why does the state of New York, probably one of the overall wealthiest places in the world, have to rely on Federal dollars to save lives in this specific situation? That's pretty scary that the state is that dependent on the Federal government.
If the money was that important to the cause, then:
- They couldn't get a loan from one of the megabanks that conducts business in New York City?
- People like Michael Bloomberg couldn't step forward to donate the money to save lives, but he could spend $1 billion on his election bid and for other political purposes?
- ActBlue couldn't crowdfund it within 24 hours?
- Nobody could step up to volunteer without being paid?
- No company could donate the necessary supplies?
- Trump giving Federal money was the magic wand of survival to supplant all of the above alternatives?
Yes, let's discuss the logic, please.
so why did cuomo make the decision? what was behind it? what was his goal?
